Empower Yourself, Lead Others

Roots2Rise Community Classes are open to everyone. Regardless of who you are, what your background is. We want you to participate.

Roots2Rise provides community classes open to the public and accessible for everyone. The community classes are all levels classes. Suitable for both beginners and advanced practitioners. We offer simple, effective poses that are accessible and modified to meet the practitioner exactly at their ability level. Our intention is to create a community of individuals actively participating in an activity to provide care and ease for themselves. In doing so we offer practitioners the tools of patience, awareness, focus and daily ease.

Our Mission

Roots2Rise makes yoga available and accessible to everyone.

We have worked and volunteered in a variety of settings, with a variety of populations. Prisons, shelters, Philadelphia park and rec. centers, yoga studios, gyms, schools, local businesses and community organizations. What we have learned is that the practice of yoga, the practice of mindfulness is beneficial regardless of location. We know that when we make a commitment to serve others, to contribute to the empowerment of each individual and to a be conduit for the growth of communities we help shape what is possible. Change happens when we choose to be of service, when we step outside of what is comfortable and when we make a choice to hold space for the greatness of others.
